Remote Desktop (RDC) in only 2 of 3 monitors

I'm currently using a laptop at home to connect to work. I would normally VPN in and use Remote Desktop Connection to access my office desktop. My laptop is connected to a dock which is then connected to 2 big monitors - so I have 3 monitors in total. However, I only want RDC displayed in the 2 big monitors, leaving my laptop screen for my local apps (meetings, chats, and other communication tools).

By default, Microsoft RDC only gives you the option to use a single display (by choosing the resolution), or to "use all my monitors".

Here's a simple trick to overcome this.

1. First, identify your monitors using the mstsc /l command. This will give you the list of monitors you currently have. Take note of the monitor index numbers (0, 1 ,2 , etc)
2. Open Remote Desktop
3. Click Show Options
4. Type in your Computer Name
5. Click Save As and save the RDP file/shortcut
6. Look for the RDP file that you saved and open it in Notepad 
7. Look for use multimon:i:0 and change it to use multimon:i:1
8. Then insert this line anywhere in the file: selectedmonitors:s:1,2  (the numbers 1,2 is from the monitor index numbers in step 1. Enter the monitor numbers that you want RDC displayed on).
9. Save and double-click your RDP shortcut

One thing I noticed with this set up is that I cannot access the RDC bar anymore. You know the blue bar up top that you can use to drag RDC or close the connection. If you wish to disconnect, you have to click the Start button and choose Disconnect.
